Eligibility |
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female outpatients 6-17 years of age inclusive, with a mental age equivalent = 18 months at Screening visit. 2. Meet Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV) criteria for an ASD. 3. Have a Clinician's Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) score = 4 (moderately ill) at Screening. 4. If already receiving stable interventions must meet the following criteria: 1. If already receiving stable concomitant medications affecting behavior, must be on a stable dose during the preceding 1 month prior to Screening (with the exception of fluoxetine, where a period of 6 weeks is needed), and will not electively initiate new or modify ongoing medications for study duration. 2. If already receiving stable non-pharmacological educational, behavioral, and/or dietary interventions, have continuous participation during the preceding 3 months prior to Screening, and not electively initiate new or modify ongoing interventions for the duration of the study. 5. Have normal physical examination and laboratory test results at Screening. If abnormal, the finding(s) must be deemed clinically insignificant by the Investigator. 6. Ability to complete assessments- fluency in English (parent; patient, if verbal). 7. Consent to participate in the Province of Ontario Neurodevelopmental (POND) study and commitment to completing as many stages as possible of the phenotyping measures (Stages 1, 2 and 3), genomics component, and interest in being imaged through POND. 8. Ability to obtain written informed consent from the participant, if developmentally appropriate. If a participant does not have the capacity to consent, ability to obtain assent (if developmentally appropriate), as well as written informed consent from their parent(s)/legal guardian. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pregnant female patients; sexually active female patients on inadequate birth control. 2. Patients with a serious medical condition that, based on Investigator judgment, might interfere with the conduct of the study, confound interpretation of the study results, or endanger their own well-being. Patients with evidence or history of malignancy or any significant hematological, endocrine, cardiovascular (including any rhythm disorder), respiratory, renal, hepatic, or gastrointestinal disease, not including mild common pediatric diseases in these areas that are stable (e.g. mild asthma, constipation, etc.). 3. Patients with unstable epilepsy (i.e. seizures occurring within the last 6 months), or patients with epilepsy who are not on stable doses of antiepileptic medications (i.e. dose changes within the last 3 months). 4. Patients with hypersensitivity to riluzole or any components of its formulation. 5. Patients with one or more of the following: HIV, Hepatitis B virus, Hepatitis C virus, hemophilia (bleeding problems, recent nose and brain injuries), abnormal blood pressure (hypotension or hypertension), drug abuse, immunity disorder, major depressive episode or psychosis. 6. Patients unable to tolerate venipuncture procedures for blood sampling. 7. Patients receiving concomitant medications that specifically target the glutamate system (e.g. memantine, d-cycloserine), or decrease the elimination of riluzole (e.g. theophylline, quinolones), less than 30 days prior to the screening visit. 8. Patients actively enrolled in another intervention study. 9. Patients who are unable to swallow pills. 10. Patients who have elevated liver enzymes = 3 times the normal amount before the study begins. |
